Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Spatiotemporal Variation of Asian Carp eDNA in Lotic Systems" (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00293) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) cooperative agreement listed under the Environment funding activity category and tied to CFDA 15.662, Great Lakes Restoration. Despite the title referencing Asian carp eDNA in flowing waters, the specific work described in the announcement focuses on lake sturgeon in Green Bay, Lake Michigan. The core purpose of the funding is to support the development of a habitat suitability model for lake sturgeon and to use that modeling work to produce a practical restoration plan aimed at improving conditions for an endangered species in that system.
The funded project is intended to translate field and environmental data into a decision-support tool that identifies where habitat is suitable (and why), then use those findings to guide restoration actions. In practical terms, this means the recipient is expected to have strong experience with habitat suitability modeling (for example, integrating spatial and environmental variables to predict habitat quality or occupancy) and with turning scientific outputs into a restoration plan that can be implemented by partners. Because the work is positioned as endangered species restoration planning, the project is not just about producing maps or model outputs; it is also about crafting a plan that connects modeled habitat needs to on-the-ground management steps, priorities, and potentially monitoring recommendations.
This announcement is explicitly a notice of intent to make a single-source award to the University of Wisconsin Green Bay, meaning it is not a competitive solicitation. The justification given is that UW-Green Bay is located near the study area and offers the relevant technical expertise and system knowledge needed to carry out the work effectively. The notice cites single-source justification under 505 DM 2.14B (2, 4), reflecting the agency rationale for awarding without competition.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $65,500 and anticipates a single award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The posting date and creation date are both July 14, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 21, 2014, and an archive date of July 22, 2014, indicating a short public notice window consistent with an intent-to-award announcement rather than an open competition. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as 0, which commonly appears in notices where the total expected amount is provided but formal ceiling/floor fields are not used in the same way as competitive grant listings.
FWS also outlines its role in the cooperative agreement. Rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back, the Service will provide technical assistance during the data collection process and will review and edit the restoration plans developed from the project. That level of involvement is typical for cooperative agreements, where the federal agency expects to collaborate more directly in shaping methods, ensuring quality, and aligning deliverables with agency restoration goals.
For access and administrative details, the announcement points users to Grants.gov and provides a contact for assistance: Timothy Strakosh (920-866-1726, TimothyStrakosh@fws.gov).
